ABSTRACT
Digital electronics is now used in all fields of electronics from computers to digital phones and most industrial machines and motor vehicles. When prototyping digital electronic circuits, specific digital input signals are required to design the digital circuit. To accomplish this task, a teaching device known as a “Digital Trainer” is utilized. The
purpose of this project work is to provide a method for students to test digital circuits, with a simple and inexpensive digital trainer. This project work describes design, development and application of a digital trainer circuit prototyping system for students in their digital electronics course. The primary objective is to design an inexpensive, simple to use device that could be retained by students, so that they can undertake digital experimentation. The digital trainer board which contains power supply section, logic gate section, function generator section and encoder/decoder section.It mainly concerns with logic gate section. Logic gate section is aimed to perform basic Boolean functions, such as AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND and so on. All logic gate circuits are firstly simulated in MULTISIM simulation environment and then constructed. After construction several tests have been performed and satisfactory results were obtained.
